PAGE TEN MEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUNTE. JfEDFORD, OKEGOX. SUNDAY. JUNE 2. 1935. SYNOPSIS! Alison Rede U meet- tnn her father's fiancee, and not liking her. Daphne Snmere Is hard, and has, Alison sees, completely blinded her father. Alison is a lit tie bemused herself, with Guy Wee turn. Guv has rescued Alison from is bad predicament, and In spit el his vanue air of mystery, Alison likes and trusts him, Alison, Mr. Rede, and Daphne are having tea. Chapter IT INSINUATIONS ALISON gulped down ber tea and set the cup down as she got up. She said conventlonallj to Mrs. Sinners, "I do hope jou won't think Jn so frightfully rude It I rush away? The truth Is, I've a frantic headache, and I want to take an aspirin and He down before dinner. These last few days hare been rather tiring." "Oh, my dear!" Daphne struck an attitude, registering remorse. "And It's all my fault! 'Oh, It is! Bob told me. I'm so terribly sorry! You see, be gave me his telegram to send off and I'd one of my own, and somehow I must're muddled them up, I can't think how." "It was the fault of those idiots at the telegraph office," Interjected , Robert. "No! I'm sure It was my fault." Dapbne Insisted. "You see I sent both telegrams oror tbe telephone and I was ' . a hurry, meeting you! She patted bis hand. "And I forgot rto make them repeat the telegrams '.before 1 rang off. So Alison must're got the one meant for Harrlps. It .I'd had tbe faintest notion I'd hare I rushed down to Warier myself, but l nerer dreamt!" ! "How could you?" said Robert fondly. "Anyway, all's well that ends well. Isn't It, Alison?" But the girl did not answer. She was staring at Mrs. Sumers who was saying "But It Isn't well! Tho poor child might have got a cold! Those wretched tenants left the whole place In the most frightful muddle. WTjy there wasn't even a i blanket In the house, and "Then then It'a your house?' Tbe words came out slowly, as If they were being squeezed out of Alison's Hps. "The Croft House? Oh, yes, aid Daphne Sumers brightly. "It s my house." OUR house." 'Alison repeated ' x tbe two words as If she could kardly grasp the fact. "Yes? Why?" There was a tinge f sharpness now In Daphne's voice. "Oh, nothing. Only, I hadn't thought of it being yours, that's all," said Alison quickly. "I don't live there, of course," said Mrs. Sumers. "I can't afford to and anyway. Its too full of mem ories. Unpleasant memories." She gave a faint sigh, followed by a side glanco of gratitude directed at Rob ert. "It's been furnished to lot but now I've sold It But If I'd only realized that the telegraph office could make a silly mistake like that! However, your father tells me you weren't quite alone." "No, Fortunately." Every flbre et Alison's being waa awake now, alert; her mind kept puzzling over this new discovery. Did the tele graph office really make mistakes? After all, they handle Incredible numbers of telegrams! Instinctive distrust made ber the more suspi cious. An unlikely tale, that two telegrams could get mixed and yet, what had Mrs. Sumers gained by that night vigil? "Bob tells me that a most attrac tive young man came to your res cue!" Daphne gave a little arch laugh. "You know, Alison, If you weren't su young, I'd almost sus pect that you hadn't tried very bard to set In touch with us!" For a moment Alison could not reply: sheer Indignation choked her and to her vast annoyance her cheeks flushed until the color spread right down her neck. "Look! She's blushing! You know. Bob, I believe It's time you did get someone to look sfter ber! Fsthers don't know everything, do they?" Robert Rede took his dsugbter's band. "I think we're different from most fathers and daughters, sren't we?" be said kindly. "Very different." Alison found her voice wllh an effort. "When Mrs. Sumers knows us both better, she'll find that out." "My dear, I was only Joking." In an Instant, less than an Instant, Mrs. Sumers dropped her arvh man ner, became serious, soothing. "Your father has told me so much about you that 1 feel I do know you, almost ss well as I know him." It was Ilka fencing, thought All son; thrust snd parry. Every word carrying Its hidden, double pjrpose the effort to Impress Robert com SON, DIE E EUGENE. June 1. (AP) Mrs. J. A.

Innately honest and sincere her self, bating subterfuge of every kind, the girl's disgust was tinged with fear. In her own fashion, a narrow, single-minded fashion. Daphne was clever; reluctantly Alison admitted It to herself. She added now, "I'm sorry that I didn't meet the young man. I would bare liked to thank him. And your father tells me that he's charming." "You will meet blm, for I hope be'a coming here to lunch," said Robert. "TTERE?" Tor a moment Alison al . would have sworn that Daphne bl nched; the rouge on her cheeks brightened and stood out In two pink patches; there was per haps ten seconds Interval before her smooth, "Oh! That's very nice . . . when ?" "I haren't asked him yet. Youll have to ring him up, Alison." "Youre got his address, then?" Mrs. Sumers said that lightly. "As a matter of tact, I haren't. I forgot to ask him for it." the girl was carefully casual. "You con look it up In the tele phone book, 1 suppose." Daphne spoke quite sharply. "What's bis name?" "Westurn." "Ob? I don't know the name. What Is be like? Your father could only tell me that he had good man ners!" She laughed, but there was uo ring now In ber laughter. She had reached out for a clgaret and was busy with the match. "Like? Oh, I don't know, quite," returned Alison. "You didn't notice whether he was fair or dark?" But behind the joking words, Mrs. Sumers' eye challenged, wary and anxious. "Oh! Oh, I see. Dark." "Tall?" "Yes, her." "What urt of age?" "I don't know. I should think around about thirty, wouldn't you?" Alison appealed to her father. "Not more than thirty." agreed Robert "What Is he?" Daphne Sumers appealed now to her nance. "An architect, he said, dldn'tlhef Alison nodded. "Married?" asked Daphne sljarp ly. "No." "You asked him that?" That with a faint, sneering smile whlrb jarred. "No. He just happened to toll me." Alison kept her voice cold and level. "I see. Did you tell him who you wore?" There wns moro than a hint of mockery In that. "Well, naturally." "Rather romantic!" "What do you menn?" The chal lenge slipped out heforo Alison could stop It. "Nothing." said Daphne Inno cently. "It is rather romantic, tlint's alL Rescue of a young girl at night In a lonely house, breakfast In the kitchen, the whole thing, Isn't It?" "Breakfast In the kitchen?" Rob ert wns frowning. "Didn't Alison toll you?" Her eye brows went up, her eyes to the girl's face. "Oh, my dearl I gather he stsyed there all night. They had breakfast In the morning Isn't that right?" "Quite right" "You didn't tell me." Robert looked troubled now. "I didn't think It worth mention ing," said Alison, quite truthfully. "I'm only wondering how Mrs. Sum ers knew." "Me? Oh, I went down there yes terday to watch my stuff being moved out and found breakfast still on the table!" Mrs. Sumers laughed. "I couldn't think what had hap pened! By iho way, won't you call me Daphne? There's not all that dif ference between our ages, you know!" "If yon would rather," Alison agreed. "I would. My dear, don't look so serious! I'm sure that youj adven ture was quite harmless. Wasn't It?" Again, she appealed to Robert. "I don't exactly see what else I could do," said Alison hotly. "You couldn't do anything else," agreed Mrs. Sumers quickly. 'Only" She looked at Robert. "I think your falher's thinking that If he had been a very nice young man, he would have managed to spend the night elsewhere! Isn't t'.iat It? But you know. Bob, the younger generation Is more casual than ours. (CopyHoht, f II. Kyelyn f. W(-i- Aluon'i suspicions of Osphns mount, tomorrow.
